Pros: If you have a LOT of blackheads - it works somewhat well.
Cons: There are always leftovers.
The Bottom Line: Most often it clears your skin, even though there are usually "fragments" left behind.

| julie42's Full Review: Neutrogena Deep Clean Pore Strips |
On Sale.
I'm a sucker for things on sale, so when I saw this box for three bucks, of course I bought it. When I got home, I took them all out. First of all, if you don't cut the strip to match your face, it gets all out of shape and does not work well at all. I cut it into three pieces myself. I would like to see the girls that can actually keep the whole thing on their nose, without it covering parts of their cheeks, coming off, and away from the nose! These girls (actually, guys too, I guess) must have the largest, most pointy-high noses ever!
My Tips:
-- Do it in the morning, when your pores are most clogged, and before all your make up is on.
-- DO NOT wash your face before you do it. Whenever I wash my face first, it hardly works. You want to get everything up and off. You do not want to put soap on, and "cleanse" and make the whole surface un-attachable.
-- Keep it on for longer than the allotted time. If you pull it off, and it is not completely 110% dry, it won't work. Pores will stay in their little holes.
-- Do not eat while you're waiting for time to elapse, as a matter of fact, don't even talk. Don't do anything that may scrunch your nose.
-- Don't pull it off rapidly. You want to take time for all the pores to come off carefully.
Well, good luck. If you have any more tips that you think should belong to this list, do let me know. I do use these strips regularily, as they do help. A lot of the time, it works. However, there are definitely times when there's absolutely nothing on the strip, and lots of clogged pores on my face.
Good luck.
